The above photo was taken about 4 minutes after he was born. As long as it took for me to remind Mik that he needed to grab the camera and get the first shots!

These next pics were taken on day 3. The first time he really spent any time with his eyes open. He was a sleepy little tacker! OK, he still is... I must say I'm blessed!

And my favourite pic from that day...

Fionn has settled beautifully into the household routine. All of the children absolutely adore their little brother and any worries I had about acceptance have been totally squashed. I have plenty of helpers (the novelty still hasn't worn off!) and they all fight over who gets to hold him next. He really is such a beautiful baby, who WOULDN'T fight to get a hold!?!?!

I'll work on the whole birth story soon. It was a pretty funny day! More soon...

Congratulations!! I had been checking regularly, I figured you HAD to have the little bubby soon! He is beautiful and its great to hear you have plenty of helpers!! Thats one of the perks of a large family!

oh kerrin....he is JUST gorgeous...i was only thinking the other day that i should shout out to the blogging world and find out if your little man had arrived.
how blessed you, mik and the kids are to have a new little soul to love and how blessed is Fionnlagh to be part of your loving family.
i can't wait to hear more of his arrival and see more pics of his precious little face.
take care and love to all xxoo
